Legacy College Preparatory Charter School

Summary:

Legacy College Preparatory Charter School is a public charter school serving grades 6-11 in the Bronx, New York, with a diverse student population. The school faces some unique challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and mixed academic performance compared to state averages and nearby charter schools.

One key metric that stands out is Legacy College Preparatory's chronic absenteeism rate, which is 39.1% - significantly higher than the 22.0% rate at nearby KIPP Bronx Charter School III. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.81%, which is higher than the range of 79.71% to 95.85% at nearby charter schools. However, Legacy College Preparatory's spending per student, at $20,328, is relatively high compared to the $16,522 to $22,228 range at nearby charters.

Academically, Legacy College Preparatory's test scores are mixed, with the school performing better than the state average in 7th grade ELA and 7th and 8th grade Math, but lagging behind in several other grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Regents exams like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Geometry. These results suggest opportunities for the school to identify and address specific challenges to improve overall academic achievement for its diverse student population. By collaborating with nearby charter schools, Legacy College Preparatory may be able to learn from their successes and work together to address common challenges facing schools in the New York City Geographic District # 7.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
